Pre-Award Forms

Every Principal Investigator (PI) at the University of Miami is required to complete, route and obtain institutional approval before submitting a proposal to an agency. Please use the PCRF-L or PCRF-S to obtain this approval.

PCRF-L (Revised: 5/23/2014): The PCRF-L is used for all new, non-compete, compete and supplemental proposals/applications, as well as all contracts/agreements involving new money and/or monetary increases (no matter how small the value) where sponsored funding will be received by UM.

PCRF-S (Revised: 2/19/2014): The PCRF-S is used for non-financial changes being made to existing UM contracts/agreements via an amendment/modification. It is also used for amendments/modifications which decrease funding.

Guarantee Form: In the absence of an award letter, an account may be opened or extended under guarantee.

Subrecipient Commitment Form: The Subrecipient Commitment Form must be submitted with grant applications that include subawardees/subcontractors to the Office of Research Administration (ORA). ORA will not issue subawards/subcontracts without the completed Subrecipient Commitment Form.

General Purpose Request Form: Please use this form to justify the general purpose costs that were not anticipated on a proposal. General purpose costs are not allowable except for special circumstances.
